Erin Casey is a third-year veterinary student at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. A northern Virginia native, Erin attended Mary Washington College (now University of Mary Washington) and later received an M.S. in Biology from Eastern Illinois University with an emphasis on conservation genetics. Her current interests include disease ecology, international public health, disaster preparedness, and conservation medicine, and she is involved with the Shelter Medicine Club and the Veterinary Business Management Association. Erin will graduate in May 2010, and hopes to pursue an internship in small animal medicine before entering a career in international veterinary medicine.

Fun fact - hmmm... I spent part of the summer cannon-netting shorebirds in NJ.
